Has anyone with 2.4l m/t put a 3 inch straight pipe on there lancer yet? and if so does it sound ricey or clean and deep?

 

a while back i traded my Megan 3" downpipe back exhaust for a stock exhaust, and when we put it on the kids car, it actually sounded really good, and loud, but not ricey at all.

 

Ohhh gawd.

Do it and see how it is for you.

 

oh dang..so you took the catts off your exhasut? Cause when i do mine its gonna be 3inch to the catts...would it sound better if i did it to the downpipe?

 

i did a 3" DP/exhaust w/ HFC on a 2.4 chevy z24 and it sounded like ****. Had to get a resonator to smooth out the tone. Why waste the money puting into a car with no Hp potential? I wasted years and thousands of dollars trying to mod cars like a lancer - no offense. Save your money and put it into a car with HP potential (or get a turbo for your ES and build from there). Silly IMO to waste the cash (save it and buy a house or go to college or somthing like that), but its about what you want, not what we think. Good Luck

 

If Its a 2.4l none turbo. It will kill your TQ. If its NA I would go with 2.25.. & maybe 2.5inch if you are making more than 220hp. and 2.75 if you are making 245 - 275hp Good Luck

 

this is also true. the reason i had a full 3" catless exhaust, was because i was turboed lol. the exhaust gave me like over 25 whp just by bolting it on and not getting tuned for it. was awesome!

 

yeah i was planning on boosting the car in about a yr or two. i think i better go with 2.5 inch exhaust till i get boost. Guess thats the best way to do it. lol



which turbo kit is better? RRM's turbo kit. OR extreme Boost.

 

haha well xtremeboost doesn't really HAVE a "kit"....they made mine planning for production, but never made anymore. so its a one off custom kit made my xtremeboost. don't get me started on RRMs kit. also, asking if something is better than RRM, is asking for trouble on these forums!!

 

Yeah man i haer that. Lots of people are stuck on RRMs' jock. Its pretty sad but true

 

^ very sad, but very true. there a bunch of gullible lancer guys here that believe anything the RRM Gods say to them.

 

If u do it, ur car will be slower. That is all.

 

^^Proof?

 

torque will be lost with no back pressure in an n/a car.

 

Going 3 inches, there are ways you can reserve some backpressure, with restriction, but putting bends in to the pipe kinda defeats the purpose of everything.

Balancing back pressure and exhaust design is tricky, alot of it is trial and error. but 3 inches for a none turbo is going to result in a loss of power. especially if you do it at the cat back level vs. axle back.
